This has been a weird year. July was cool; September is HOT. Today, however, I was given the promise of fall. Starbucks’ Pumpkin Spice Latte returned, and I know the cool weather, the colorful trees, and the hint of snow is not far behind.

Due to a snow day on the last day of finals, we finished finals on Monday and started second semester on Tuesday, so I’ve been living in two semesters all week. Tonight, I am thankful to have put semester one to rest: grades turned in, things filed.

Tonight I prepped for teaching some AP kids that aren’t really mine. It’s a grant, and I get to teach some Saturday sessions. So far, it’s been fun, and I’m glad I have the opportunity and had some time to plan tonight.
